The controller controls the transfer welding device 41 to reciprocate longitudinally along the longitudinal sliding component 43 according to the information of the position to be laid of the grabbed secondary pipe string. Namely, the sliding movement is adjusted forward or backward toward the position to be laid of the grasped secondary tube string until the transfer welding device 41 moves in the forward and backward direction to the position to be laid of the secondary tube string of the photovoltaic module 8. The controller controls the telescoping mechanism 412 to drive the diode-grasping pick-up mechanism 414 to move downwards according to the information of the to-be-laid position of the grasped secondary tube string until the diode string falls into the to-be-laid position of the secondary tube string. Then the telescoping mechanism 412 drives the welding mechanism 413 to move downwards, and the welding mechanism 413 can weld the diode string and the photovoltaic module 8. After the end of welding, the telescopic mechanism 412 drives the welding mechanism 413 and the picking mechanism 414 to move upwards, the detection unit 7 detects the position information of the next diode string at the feeding station, and the controller receives the position information of the next diode string and then controls the transfer welding device 41 to move to the feeding station for next grabbing. The control process is the same as the process of laying and welding after grabbing, the running direction is opposite, the control process is not specifically described, and the control process can be meaningless to the skilled person.
Or, in this embodiment, as a further limitation of the second embodiment, the welding mechanism 413 and the picking mechanism 414 are connected to the telescopic mechanism 412 through a rotary driving mechanism 415, and the rotary driving mechanism 415 may drive the welding mechanism 413 and the picking mechanism 414 to rotate in a vertical direction, so that the secondary pipe string can be horizontally placed at a position to be laid.
The lateral sliding member 42 includes a pair of parallel rails, and the longitudinal sliding member 43 includes a rail mounted on the pair of parallel rails and a driving motor for driving the longitudinal sliding member 43 to slide on the pair of parallel rails of the lateral sliding member 42. The transfer welding apparatus 41 also includes a driving motor for driving the transfer welding mechanism 4 to slide on the rail of the longitudinal slide member 43. Move and carry welding set 41 and realize through horizontal track and vertical track that the diode cluster on the material loading station arrives on the photovoltaic module 8 on the processing station, simple structure, easily preparation, the cost is with low costs, saves space.
Further, the detecting unit 7 may be any component capable of acquiring the position information of the diode string to be grabbed or the position information to be laid of the grabbed diode string, such as: the detection unit 7 may be a vision detection camera, and the vision detection camera may collect a first image when the transfer welding device 41 moves to above the tray 9, and perform calculation and analysis on the collected first image through an image processing algorithm, so as to obtain position information of the secondary pipe string to be captured; similarly, the vision inspection camera may further collect a second image when the transfer welding device 41 moves to the position above the photovoltaic module 8, and perform calculation and analysis on the collected second image through an image processing algorithm to obtain the position information to be laid of the captured diode string, for example, perform positioning through a welding point on the photovoltaic module 8. The specific device used for the detection unit 7 is not limited. The movement of the transfer welding mechanism 4 is controlled by the detection unit 7 and the controller, so that the transfer and welding of the diode string can be intelligently and flexibly realized, and meanwhile, the laying precision of the diode string is improved.
Furthermore, at least one transfer welding device 41 is provided, a plurality of transfer welding devices 41 are arranged on the longitudinal sliding assembly 43 in a sliding manner at intervals, and the distance between the plurality of transfer welding devices 41 is adjustable. The plurality of transfer welding devices 41 can be arranged to simultaneously pick up and weld a plurality of diode strings, and the working efficiency of the equipment is improved. And the distance between the plurality of transfer welding devices 41 is adjustable, and the distance between the plurality of transfer welding devices 41 can be adjusted according to the positions to be laid of two adjacent diodes.
